Abstract:
Simultaneously with the curricula reform, introduction of the clue competences in the
curricula and the shift from referential objectives to the competences increased the
interest of the teachers in using the historic documents in teaching process. The bearing
information documents serve for passing through time and space of the information
which are used in different domains of the man activity constituting the issue of study
for science subjects and are kept in libraries archive, and museums. We have to
emphasize the fact that mainly non of the essential forms of the acting of the modern
Romanian society (economical activities, social reports, judiciary, military, religious
and executive organizations, political phenomenon and the claiming of cultural
beginnings) can’t be restored without the investigation of historic sources. A specific
competence for the history of Romanians and universal history, as much as for the
grammar school, gymnasium level as for the lyceum is: the awareness and explanation
of the historical sources. Due to the fact that the historical documents have a great force
of persuasion, the forming of abilities of their usage is decisive in the history study and
it is made through a wide range of didactical methods and proceedings. From now on
we will refer to the study and interpretation of the historical documents at the lessons,
together with the pupils for the topics connected with “Marea Unire”. The written
document increases the pupils trust in the authenticity of the events, develops his
scientific curiosity and the love for the history study, provides inquisitive attitudes
before the historic reality, the rising of some questions, enhances the interests for the
searching of the answer directly from the original source.
